About this deal

Le splendide descrizioni del paesaggio e dell’ambiente circostante creano sin da subito un fil rouge che correrà per tutto il romanzo dipanandosi attraverso una storia di grande tensione emotiva e con temi e situazioni care alle spy story.

Night Train to Marrakech - Dinah Jefferies, Author

I really enjoyed this novel and for me it was a page turner, slowly bringing all three novels together in a capstone for all the characters. I enjoyed the relationship which developed between her and Vicky and how this, although it exposed them both (and others) to danger, ultimately allowed for past losses to be properly mourned, and for interfamilial rifts to be healed. I admired the way in which the author only gradually revealed the dark, complex reasons behind Clemence's decades-long estrangement from her family and the impact this had had, not only on her own life but also on theirs. Great sensory details that made me feel as if I was there - certainly helped by the recent oppressive heat I read it in. We’ve put together some helpful travel tips for Morocco and a list of things to know before going to Morocco that any first-time traveler should read!Plus, you’ll have a slightly reclining seat, extra legroom (when compared to second-class), and power outlets. It is set in Morocco in the sixties when there was a good deal of political tension of which I knew very little. This is the third book in Dinah Jeffries "Daughters of War" series, I must admit that I haven't read the other two but this can be read completely as a standalone and I will now go back and read the previous two. Below you’ll find all the details about the Marrakech to Fes train and everything you need to know before you depart. In her mountain home, the Kasbah du Paradis, Clemence is awaiting her long-lost granddaughter’s arrival with mixed emotions.

Built-in 2008, the Marrakech Train Station is located west of the Marrakech Medina, about a 10-15 minute taxi ride.While Vicky and her cousin Bea, daughter of Florence, become accustomed to life in Marrakech, they become increasingly drawn into the politics of the day which proves more dangerous than they could have imagined. At times I felt she acted more like an overgrown schoolgirl than a mature young woman who desires to be taken seriously as a fashion designer, leaping into situations without really thinking them through and becoming frantic when things go wrong. While you’ll have a handful of time slots to choose from on any given day, traveling by train is a popular way to get around Morocco by tourists and locals so timetable slots will definitely sell out.

Definitely a novel to be recommended along with its predecessors, Daughters of War and The Hidden Place. In fact, there are several trains that run daily from Marrakech to Fes, so you’ll have options to choose from as well as seat types. Morocca is however a dangerous place and soon Vicky and Bea find themselves caught up in deadly events, when their friend is murdered and Bea disappears. If you’d like to visit Casablanca, Rabat, or Meknes you’ll need to book a separate train ticket from Marrakech to either of these cities and then a separate onward ticket to Fes.The descriptions of Marrakech, particularly the souks and Jemaa el-Fna, take me back to when I went there and it even mentions things such as the famous French Café, which due to the book being set in 1960, made me realise how long this café had been standing. Emotivamente molto coinvolgente poi, la storia d’amore di Clemence e Theo, una love story che per una volta vede due protagonisti maturi alla ricerca del riscatto e del compimento di un amore interrotto bruscamente. Clemence has her own skeletons in the cupboard and is forced to confront them when faces from the past appear. When Vicky's new friend is murdered, and Bea disappears, Vicky's mother and sisters come out to help.
